Behavior when uploading pictures in 2.6.1
Posted: 17 Dec 2009, 08:29
I've uploaded some pictures after upgrading to 2.6.1 using Multiple Add. After selecting the pictures uploaded via FTP or via the Java client and selecting the desired category I set the option that the pictures are not published yet, then pressed the Save button.
Now the pictures were added, thumbnails were created - so far, so good. But why are the pictures automatically authorized? Ok, I can imagine this is because I did the upload from the backend. But why then the pictures are immediately visible at the frontend when they are only authorized, but not yet published? I thought if the Published option is set to false the pictures should be invisible at the frontend...
So I had to un-authorize the pictures first to be able to edit titles and descriptions before I make them visible to public. Next problem: if they are unpublished and unauthorized I have no selection criteria in the backend to view only those pictures. The filter "status = unpublished" did not work for those.
Thanks and regards,
Ronny
